Happy Halloween from our little Hornet

What does the hornet say, Will? His response was a good BZZZZZ sound!! We decided a hornet was fitting for Will because when he was a little tiny baby he would so intensely cry and I would call him a little hornet. He was adorable....and we love our passionate little guy...even when he is a hornet.
Will made the neighborhood rounds and got special treat bags from Kathy next door and John and Shann across the street.

Grandma Kath and Grandpa Doug came down for the festivities. My mom gave him a trick-or-treat pumpkin and book he really got into. Highlights of the season included his first lollypop, spiders, pumpkins, and playing in the leaves.
Grandma loves her little boy and when she goes home after taking care of Will for her week she almost always says, "I can hardly stand to be away for 10 days....he will change so much." Grandma extraordinaire!!
He had the pumpkin thing down, but didn't care much for the treats this year.


Halloween day was absolutely gorgeous and we soaked up the sunshine after a couple weeks of rainy/snowy weather. We stumbled across a Halloween street fair at the University and Will's red balloon was the big hit.
Will is fascinated by helicopters. We took a trip to Fort Douglas Army museum during the day. We decided he likes to pick helicopters out of the sky, instead of viewing them up close. The main entertainment was the stree fair....we've decided to make it a yearly tradition!

Bzzzz! What a cute little hornet! Good on ya that you can look back on those intense early days of motherhood and recall, with fondness, calling your little screamer a "hornet". Mothering is so demanding, I can barely remember the first year of my twins lives! But we both know, that it's so worth it. You, Cody and Will make such a great family! :)
